#facts

As someone who struggles with anxiety and some other issues I don't really share publicly, this is what I see...

It's really easy to post a hashtag or share a quote about mental health, but the reality is that many people are very harsh and quick to judge when they see someone act "crazy"... I've been guilty of it, and I've also been the one being judged.

Anxiety, depression, past trauma, ptsd, bipolar, ocd, borderline, and other mental health issues sometimes cause good people to act inappropriately... Just keep that in mind before shaming someone who is clearly having a hard time. Mental health awareness isn't just about caring about people who are depressed and withdrawn.

Just some #deepthoughts for a #sundaymorning

Going through bins... And found these. When @kymarilyn was with me in Florida, @tobyknapp sent her tons of postcards from @smithsonianzoo.

It all worked out that for the last 7 years we all lived in the same place, but for a while in her younger life, she went for long periods of time without seeing one of us. Couldn't have been easy on her, and I know it wasn't easy on her parents, but finding these reminded me that no matter which one of us she was with, she always knew she was loved.

Maybe I'm a little emotional and sentimental lately because she's leaving for college in exactly 1 month... and lots of things are changing. Just wanted to share, and thanks Toby for being such a cool dad.

GUILTY!!!

But on a serious note...

I reallllly try to keep myself out of shenanigans on social media these days... It never ends well. Never makes me look good. Never solves anything. Never changes minds or hearts.

I actually talked with our therapist about it the other day because I know I have a tendency to get very heated and I take things personally instead of ignoring them... Being triggered and reacting poorly is a trauma response for some people. Learning about my "Window of Tolerance" and how to control my emotions and thoughts, not just when it comes to social media but in general.

In the meantime, sharing this because it's true... And encouraging others to take a deep breath, vent privately to a trusted friend, take a walk, and do what you have to do to hold onto your own peace and composure.

I say this from a place of screwing up many times and knowing that I am better than how I've behaved at times when I've been hurt.. and knowing how harshly people judge others for struggling and having a shitty moment.

When you know better, you do better... Or at least you try really damn hard and stay commited to keep working at it.

#tbt 2004 brotherrr...

So the story behind this picture... It was a @933flz 4th of July weekend event... I look all happy and like I'm living my best life... But @kymarilyn was just a few months old and I spent this entire day walking alllll the way over to the indoor space to pump because I was nursing and my boobs were ready to burst every few hours. I was anxious about them leaking the entire day... Not saying I didn't have fun, some of my best career memories are from these FLZ live broadcasts, but working #momlife is hard!

Anyway, I just went through a huge bin of photos so my #tbts should be pretty 🔥 for a while. If we've ever taken a picture together, you may see yourself here soon.

My girl off for her first ever "girls trip" to see

My girl off for her first ever "girls trip" to see a friend in Michigan... She wanted grown up luggage as her graduation gift from us ❤. This morning on @tobychillishow we talked about her going on this trip alone... She started traveling on @southwestair as an unaccompanied minor when she was 6... and flew to Florida to visit family by herself a few years ago. At the time I expected to walk her in and to the gate.. She just wanted to be dropped off and go through the whole process herlself. She did it! I'm actually really confident she will be just fine, trying to to let go and not be helicopter mom....

They grow up so fast....
